The chicks gotten from hatchery Kasha in the Taslojha. The sounds treatment choosing as follows: Control (T1 without sound), Movement of Feet (T2), Soft Sound Hens (T3), Chicks Care (T4) and hatched chicks, straight run (n = 160), were randomly distributed among, 4 treatments, with 4 replicates (2 male −2 female) per treatment and 10 chicks per replicate .The chicks exposure to sound from 1 day to 14 day old after hatching for 15 minutes. The results show: a significant difference (p<0.05) of experimental treatments (T2, T3 and T4) in moisture, protein, Fat, Ash, Water holding capacity (WHC) and pH percentage for thigh and breast compare with control treatment (T1). A significant difference (p<0.05) of experimental treatments (T2, T3 and T4) in on non-essential amino acids and essential amino acids in the thigh and breast.
